A: This Advanced Professional program is designed to be practical and is focused on how to apply the content from the Professional course in working with others. It is an opportunity to dive deeper into how to apply the Biology of Trauma® work with your clients. We build upon the content from the Professional course with the aim to help you as a practitioner assess patient/client cases through the lens of the Biology of Trauma® and determine recommendations to provide patients/clients that addresses a Biology of Trauma®. Case studies, group implementation meetings and collaboration with Mastery Professionals and other Advanced Professionals will give you the experience of working with clients to assess for attachment pain.

In order to receive a certificate of completion, you will need to complete the required deepening exercises assignment, including attendance at the Live Implementation Meetings, and discussing your Final Project in the Final Presentation Meeting.

The purchase of this course includes free access to our Professionals Network for the first 6 months. After this period, continued access will incur an additional monthly fee.

The Biology of Trauma^® Advanced Professional Program is a one-year program with six certificate modules. The 6 Certificate Advanced Modules are the following:

• Biology of Freeze & Overwhelm
• Biology of Grief & Heart Shocks
• Biology of Stress & Anxiety
• Biology of Attachment and Neurodevelopment
• Biology of Letting Go
• Biology of Healing

Modules can be taken in any order, though the recommendation would be to follow the order listed above.

6 Certificate Advanced Modules:

Each module is a 6-week training integrating somatic work and parts work. Each week consists of a pre-recorded training, handouts, and a homework assignment and live implementation meetings to discuss how to integrate these concepts and tools into your practice. At the end of each module is a final presentation meeting to present your final project. 

With bonuses and guest speakers events, I love to pack full each training with so many resources and tools for you.

A:The Professional level introduces the concepts of the Biology of Trauma® with the focus on personal application and experience. It builds the basic foundation of each module and it’s core concepts.

The Advanced Professional level revisits the content of each module in more depth with the focus on implementing this into your practice and professional application when working with others. 

• Many professionals in the Biology of Trauma® course are still struggling with how to integrate the knowledge they have gained from the modules into their work with clients. The Advanced Professional (AP) program will offer these professionals an opportunity to go more in depth with the materials in the modules, and allow for a greater degree of implementation as well as the opportunity to collaborate and network with other professionals in the AP program. Those in the AP program will be given direct feedback and support from our Biology of Trauma® Mastery Level Professionals, who are directly trained by Dr. Aimie and will be leading implementation meetings.
• Additional content including pre-recorded training videos, handouts, and case studies will be provided that deepen your understanding to take your work deeper into the Biology of Trauma®.

Everything is online! Some portions of the Module trainings are pre-recorded and available in your course portal. Other portions are delivered in LIVE group Zoom sessions which are also recorded and made available in your course portal. You have ongoing access to all course materials.

Though each person’s time commitment varies, I recommend you plan to devote 6 hours a week to working through the content of each Advanced Professional Module.

The following is required:

These are the requirements to be eligible for the Advanced Professional Training for the Biology of Stress, Rest and Resilience module:

1. You have taken the foundational module (The 21 Day Journey to Calm Aliveness and All Parts of Me).
   
   

2. You have taken the course on the Professional Training track. 
   

3. You must enroll in the Professionals Network (PN).
   • Please note that membership to the PN is required in order to meet the requirements of completion successfully. 
   • This is an additional cost to be a part of the Professional's Network. Learn more about the Professionals Network HERE including information on cost and how to become a member.
   • One of the main objectives of the advanced level program is to network with and learn from other advanced providers who are trained in the Biology of Trauma® (BoT) approach. We facilitate this objective through our Professionals Network (hosted in the Mighty Networks platform) where we house an exclusive, dedicated community of BoT advanced providers where collaborative discussions can take place. This is where we have the opportunity to deepen our exploration of the program’s content and where your assignments are posted as part of the requirements for completion.
     
4. Advanced Preparatory Course - although this is not a requirement, it is strongly recommended for you to complete prior to start of the module. This preparatory course will be accessible on the online course platform as soon as you complete registration for the advanced professional program.

Each module has an individual certificate at the end. While working through the 6 modules, offered once a year, you will be given the designation as a Biology of Trauma^® Advanced Professional In Training. Upon completion of all 6 Modules, you will be granted an overall certificate and the designation as a Biology of Trauma^® Advanced Professional.

To receive the certificate, you complete a weekly homework assignment for each module. There is also a final presentation meeting to discuss your final project.

Professionals of all kinds are invited to complete this training. As long as you are in a helping profession, you are working with trauma and stress in the nervous system and biology, and your practice will be greatly enhanced by the tools and knowledge you will gain from the Biology of Trauma® Advanced Professional Program.

The Foundational Module of the 21 Day Journey and Intro to All Parts of Me, the 6 Biology of Trauma® Modules on the Professional Track must be completed before beginning any of the 6 Biology of Trauma® Advanced Professional Modules. 

While it is encouraged to take the 6 Biology of Trauma® Advanced Professional Modules in the order in which they are listed on this page, they can be taken in any order without compromising the effectiveness of the overall training.

This is not a course that gives you a license as a provider nor is it a health or trauma recovery coach credentialing program. At the completion of each Module, you will receive a Certificate of Completion indicating that you have achieved competency on that specific topic of the Biology of Trauma®.

At the completion of all 6 modules of the Certificate Training, you will receive a certification as a Biology of Trauma® Advanced Professional from Trauma Healing Accelerated. This is a certification that you will be adding to your professional work capacities.

You are still held to the restrictions, responsibilities and privileges of any primary license and board.

Once someone completes the 1-year Advanced Professional Certificate Training, they then have the option to pursue greater mastery and deeper application of the Biology of Trauma® model through the Mastery Program Training. This would be 7.5 months of training in which special emphasis on the art of practice.

A 30-Day Full Refund is available if you have not started any Modules within the training program. Beyond 30 days, you can receive a pro-rated refund for any courses you have not yet started.
